"Let It Be…Naked" by The Beatles – ****

First released: 2003

At first I thought, "What's the point?" when The Beatles wanted to issue this, but after I heard it, I much prefer this version. It's not that I don't enjoy gems such as "Dig It" and "Maggie Mae" (both removed from this album in favor of "Don't Let Me Down"), it's just that the album is much more polished without all of the between song chatter. A second disc called "Fly On the Wall" is more disappointing as it only contains snippets of actual songs, when a compilation of the best unreleased "Get Back"/"Let it Be" songs would have been better.
